What a week. Since the Bradfords have left the Neffs have arrived, and what a difference. For anyone who doesn't know, Elder Neff is the owner of Neff beanies. Very fancy, very accredited. He is also very charismatic and knows exactly what to say to work a crowd. Planning site meeting with them is like
In other news, Tim and Ashley have still been doing well. They consistently come to church and are praying together as a couple. Miracle of the week! We found a family of three cousins from El Salvador. We had a powerful first lesson with them and they are excited to learn about what's found in the Book of Mormon and how it can help them. Another miracle of the week! We are teaching a family named the Novicks, who I may have mentioned before. They fight with each other a lot, but have a desire to have a changed life. We retaught the Plan of Salvation to Damian, the older brother of the family, and you could slowly start to see things click in his eyes. We invited him to baptism and slowly he slowly committed, sputtering out, "yes..." AAAAHHH!!
Today we had a lesson with a man named George Rimel and the Evans family. George Rimel is a man with a seven year old daughter named Feliciti who is wanting to start his own church because he believes Christ's true church has been lost from the earth. No fear George Rimel because Christ's true church has already been restored!! Sister Evans came out with us the other day on a day we were seeing George and loved him and asked President Evans to come out as well. Oh MAN. It was the most intense thing ever. George is of the belief that you are saved when you accept Jesus Christ in your heart, and there isn't a need to be baptized, but we read 2 Nephi 31 with him and boldly taught about the authority that's been restored and the need for baptism. Hearts were POUNDING. We were testifying, Sister Evans with all her sweetness, was testifying, President, in all his wisdom, was testifying. THE INTENSITY WAS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE. He walked away with the agreement that he would read the Book of Mormon, and if he knew it were true he would be baptized. CRAZINESS.
Anyway, on to less intense themes. The snow from this past snow fall is slowly starting to melt and as we've enjoyed the "warmth" these past few days I have just been extremely grateful for the small little tender mercies the Lord has provided. I know they are abundant. This week be on the lookout for them, and the Lord will direct you to them.
I love you all!!
